What a joy it is to serve you at a time when God is truly blessing Truett-McConnell College. With record growth during the last few years both in student enrollment and building renovations, we are excited about the future. Crucial to supporting these positive changes is a staff of people who can undergird and continue moving this institution to the next level. Truett-McConnell is blessed to have three directors serving TMC alumni through our Institutional Advancement office. Please allow me to introduce them to you.

Steve Patton, as many of you have come to know, is the Director of Alumni Relations. His key role is to get to know you and to strengthen the college's relationship with all alumni. Steve also serves as TMC's assistant golf coach. Steve is Southern Baptist preacher's kid who was born in Atlanta. He and Paige, his wife, have settled in Hiawassee with their three daughters.

Dr. Stacy Hall serves as Director of Annual Giving and Grant Development. He is married to Ivey, and they have two children. Dr. Hall has multiple years of experience and success in marketing and college athletics from his previous positions and serves as a lead professor for marketing at TMC.

Norm Miller serves as Director of Communications. Also a Southern Baptist PK, he is married to Cynthia. They have two children and two grandchildren. Norm brings 25 years of journalism experience to our office, having worked two decades as a freelance writer for the SBC's Baptist Press, and having written for other Southern Baptist entities since the late 80s. Norm's staff is responsible for the website and all printed and electronic means of communication for the college.

I am truly grateful to work with a staff of this caliber and dedication. TMC is blessed to have them serve the Lord at your alma mater. Our staff is here to serve you, and we hope that you will continue to pray, support, and get involved with all of the exciting things planned in the next few months at Truett-McConnell College.
